to bring soue light work and employ
their hands? Their attention would bt
less likely to be diverted than when idle
and the few Interruptions would amount

dependency Is to compete with men, but
in fitting themselves they seem to ignore
the fact, for fact it is, that in that compe-
tition they are expected to excel the ma

outside employments as antlcipatory OF

lifework and prepare for it.
